No.

But I'm charging you for making me feed you potions throughout the last adventure.

With the new updates from WoTC in July 2009, Gond's character build has been quite screwed with it. From here :

The New Battlerager Vigor Class Feature:
Whenever you hit an enemy with a melee or a close attack, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Constitution modifier, plus any temporary hit points normally granted by the power.
If you use an invigorating fighter attack power and miss every target with it, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Constitution modifier.
When wearing light armor or chainmail, you gain a +1 bonus to damage rolls with melee and close weapon attacks whenever you have temporary hit points. This bonus increases to +2 if you’re wielding an axe, a hammer, a mace, or a pick.

The previous version was that I would get temp hp(THP) everytime an enemy hits me, or if I use a power which has the keyword "Invigorating", and that THP stacks.
So with this revision of the class feature means I only get THP when I hit with a melee attack or invigorating power, or miss with an invigorating power.

Unfortunately, Retraining only allows me to change 1 power or feat or skill. I would like to change more than that.
Firstly, I would like to change my At-Will power from Crushing Surge(MP) to Cleave(PHB).

Secondly, I would like to change one of my feats to this feat, found in Dragon Magazine 368:
Untamed Berserker Style [Arena Fighting]
Prerequisites: Con 13, any martial class
Benefit: You gain a benefit with any of the following exploits you possess.
Brash Assault (warlord, MP 103): If your ally hits the target with the granted basic attack, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Constitution modifier.
Cleave ( fighter, PH 77): You can forgo dealing damage to an adjacent enemy to instead gain temporary hit points equal to your Constitution modifier.
Disheartening Attack (rogue, MP 73): If you hit with this exploit, you can add your Strength modifier as a feat bonus to Intimidate checks until the end of the encounter. Predator Strike (ranger, MP 43): Your beast companion can shift 1 square before the attack.

I will also change a Lvl 2 Utility to Boundless Endurance(PHB) as well as my Lvl 1 Daily to Villain's Menace(PHB)

Initially, I am suppose to be the party's defender so I counted on the Battlerager Vigor class feature's THP to take damage, but now I need to revise the role to be more effective.

After a careful review of my fighter, I say that the updates to the rules has seriously hampered my build and I will not take Battlerager Vigor anymore. I shall revamp to the Fighter Weapon Talent class feature, and as such will revamp accordingly after the Halls of the Hammer encounter.

Also, in terms of RPing, this is what will happen after the Halls of the Hammer encounter(our current encounter):

Gond, devastated after knowing his father, his whole family, his tribe, his friends and all have been annihilated by servants of the shade (Netheril), will leave the party for a brief sabbatical to prepare and complete his wedding ceremony with Drad-Mi.
She is the only surviving one left thats dearest to him.
Gond believes this is a punishment from the goliath gods for him selfishly leaving his centennial ceremony for his own gains. He will complete the centennial ceremony to appease his gods, and then he will set off on a route of retribution and vengeance to find out who did this, tear out a new empire within Netheril, as well as his own quest for glory to be the champions of the goliaths.

Gond will of course, not leave the party without finding a replacement for himself. Drad-Mi mentions she has a companion who is eager to prove himself in combat. He will introduce into him the party before he takes his leave.
With that, Gond and his wife will build a simple community for the surviving fey members of Nentir Vale in the South Woods, and in the meantime with vengeance in his mind, retribution boiling through his blood, he will train and increase his skills in the martial arts.

This equates to OOC(out-of-character) terms: Gond will leave the party for approx 2weeks to 1 month in-game(that probably equates to 2-3 adventures, 1-2 levels) and in his place another hero will take over. This gives Gond a chance to retrain his character (still fighter, diff feats and powers only) and gives me a chance to play another hero i've always wanted to test play. hint: play test from PHB 3.

Mobius: "One can only hope this newcomer hits as hard as Gond... and speaks softer than him."

[eternasky]

is this the most updated on the character history?
Viona is gonna have some deep connections to Drad Mi.

And are they married yet? or is Gond still a fugitive?

[elijin]

lol wat fugitive?
and ya Gond and Drad Mi is married, thus Viona the "bridesmaid" remember.
Gond took a break for 1 level cos I wanted to try the Monk.

Basically if you come from Fallcrest, the whole place is obliterated.
Gond wants to destroy netheril, in short.

[elijin]

Gond will do two things during the time from last game till this paragon session:

1) Hire a few inspiring bards-to-be, and sing a song of the heroics of the lone Goliath, as well as spread the word that Gond Oremighty wants to unite the Goliaths Tribe under one banner, in one country. The time for change and unity is now. Join Gond Oremighty's United Front (GOUF), and we will initiate Project Seig Zealous Ennihilation Of Netheril (Seig ZEON)
Meet Gond Oremighty at in 6 months time at the Oremighty Clan's home in FallCrest (now a charred piece of land)

2) Using Viona's sending stones, to keep contacting Drad Mi and asking for an explanation.

The following is Gond's Advertisement on every Adventurer's Guild once he reaches level 16:
Gond Oremighty, Son of Godamm, son of Muit,
the destined Goliath Leader, Supreme Commander of the Goliath Horde Army known as
GOUF, seeking to unite all the Goliath tribes under one banner, and ultimately under one country,
GUNDAM (Goliaths United N Destined All Millennium)

The banner (crafted from Gond's Mordenkrad and the dragon tooth from his previous adventure):


Heed my call. Join GOUF, together we will make Project Seig ZEON a success and create a place in this Forgotten Realms for goliaths in GUNDAM!

[thedungeonmaster]

With a charisma of 9... I wonder how many goliaths Gond can recruit...

[elijin]

If destiny is involved, stats dont matter! besides with that low charisma, he can recruit all the charisma 1-8 Goliaths. ;D

[thedungeonmaster]

Ok... I see, you are able to see that the glass is half-full...
